SARGODHA, Sep 1(ABC): Former Prime Minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supremo Imran Khan on Thursday claimed that four people conspired in a closed room to disqualify him.
While reacting to his recent telethon, PTI’s Imran Khan said at a public rally in Sargodha that overseas Pakistanis generously donated to the telethon, adding that many people could not be contacted because all of the telethon’s lines were busy. As more money is collected, a control room will be built to help the flood victims, where the victims will send aid to where they need help, he added.
“Chief Election Commissioner, you have understood for the first time what foreign funding is. We have been sent a lot of money by overseas Pakistanis,” he added.
Imran Khan further said that due to the slavery of the IMF, Pakistanis have to spread their hands, adding that by mobilizing overseas Pakistanis country can be saved from further debts.
“I have recorded a tape in which I have revealed the names of four people who conspired against me and planned to disqualify me. If something happens to me, that tape will be exposed to the public, and then the public will not spare those four people.The Election Commissioner was asked to disqualify me in the funding case,” Imran Khan claimed.
The former PM challenged and said that the Tosha Khana case should be heard openly, adding that the cases of Nawaz Sharif, Zardari, Yousaf Raza Gilani should also be heard. Things would become crystal clear, Imran added.
Former prime minister and PTI chief Imran Khan Thursday reiterated that he would continue with his movement against the “thieves imposed on the masses” despite the floods that have wreaked havoc on the country.
Addressing lawyers at Circuit House in Sargodha, the PTI chief said: “They [the leaders of the coalition government] have been telling me to sit down due to floods; however, I will help the flood-affectees more than them [government] and will also continue my political activities.”
Khan told the lawyers that they have more responsibility towards ensuring the supremacy of the law. “All problems that people are facing will be resolved with a good local government system,” the former premier said, stressing that he has been fighting for rule of law in the country.
“Here [in Pakistan] we have different laws for the weak and powerful people,” he said, adding that thieves belonging to the poor segment of the society are sent to jails while the powerful thieves are given “important positions.”
The PTI chief said that all divisions in the country should be converted into provinces. “The better the province is, people’s problems will be solved,” he said, adding that debate should be held in this regard as more provinces would reduce the problems.
